Sorry, I just broke something. I think. Sorry. Just touched my bottom. Well, no, I was broke something I think. Did you just touch my bottom? Well, no, I was pulling this and it made a big noise. I don't even know what it does. Don't pull stuff down there. Yes. Sorry. That's my bad.

Susan has described her town as bum fuck nowhere. It might be Suzanne. I don't think it's Susan. I think it's Suzanne. Like the shop. Susie. Suze. Suze.

The big S. I like Sus. G'day Sus. Oh g'day you gorgeous mormax. How are you? Is it Susan or Suzanne? Oh God, please don't say Susan. It's got a Z in it. Yeah, I already told him he's from DCI for that, Suzanne.

That's my fault, Suzanne. Now, I believe you're retired as, in your words, being in the post office. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired.

I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired. I'm not sure if you're retired.. Now, I believe you're retired as a, in your words, being in the PO-PO, is that correct? Ooh. Yeah, yes, I was with them for 21 years and then just retired at the end of May. And then, well, congratulations.

And what are you doing now? Thank you. Well, I do some private investigator stuff and hang out with two of my grandsons, Gabe and Harley, and do a lot of wildlife care. So I've got three kangaroos in care at the minute. Okay. Not that that isn't amazing and probably really bad for the Australian brand because people

are like, they're just kangaroos everywhere. And you just said that you've got three in your house, but you're a private investigator. Yes. Is that as fun as it sounds? Oh, look, there's a lot of paperwork. So it's probably not as Sherlock Holmesy as we'd all like to think it is, but I do enjoy it though, because it's something different and every case is different. So because I'm imagining you and the two grandkids like on the chase with the magnifying glass walking around with like a little notepad and like taking down clues. Yeah. And can you just say that's how it is, even if it's not. That's exactly, that's exactly how it is.

Yeah. That's exactly what I imagined. Yeah. Perfect. Perfect. Well, Suzanne, thank you. Yeah. Will you approve today's podcast? Absolutely. I will. Legend. Don't have to be a PI to find that one out. Don't laugh at that.

Thank you, Suzanne. Don't laugh at that. Hi, it's Suzanne. I'm from the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales and I approve this podcast. Someone's got morning wood. We'll start today's show apparently with some light bullying. How is that bullying? What did you say about my hat? I said you've got some light wood.

You said I look too stiff. And when is that not a compliment? It's real, that looks like cardboard. Like it doesn't look like a, like a, oh, I like that jaunty tilt. We're talking about my Christmas hat for anyone not watching on YouTube. Listening along at home.

It's very good. I just look like Santa. You don't at all. Or Santa not as stiff and firm as that. No, it's normally like a cascading red felt hat, you know? There you go. Whoa. Is that better?

That sexy. Is it though? I feel like I've liked it stiff. Okay, we'll do it stiff. All right, coming up today. How did it do that? It's magic. Magic heart. Yeah. Pilot.com will help do that? It's magic. Magic heart.

Yeah. Pilot.com will help any man get to the firmness he needs. Great. Not sponsored. Secret Santa fails. Tis the season for Secret Santas. We're doing ours on Friday. How are you going with your gift?

Yes. Good. Good. I'm not going to say who I've got, obviously. Not going to say too much. Don't want to give anything away. So how are you going getting your gift for whoever you've got? Pretty good.

Yeah. Good. Good about it. Um, right. How are you going with your mine has arrived. Amazing. It's been delivered and I got delivered. Yeah.

And I bought yesterday, um, probably three or four roles of rapping. Interesting. Cause I tried to get like a big bag, you know, like the Christmas bag. What is there? I hate it when people just put something in a gift bag. I know, but it's like a light Christmas bag. Doesn't matter. A staple at the top.

Nope. Cause then you don't get to unwrap anything. Okay. Noted. For whoever you have anything. Okay. Noted. For whoever you have. Noted. Noted. Can I just say like with Secret Santa fail, I have been on the receiving end of some shocking

Secret Santa things because I think there's been like a couple too many times where obviously whoever's gotten me has forgotten. And then the night before is gone off. Not even the night before like morning off. So when I was working at General Pants, we did like, yeah, pretty cool. We did like a secret Santa thing and we had a big tree and because we have, it was in the city. We have this big like lofty upstairs part and everybody's gifts were wrapped. So like, cause everyone was like super artistic and whatever.

Everything was wrapped really beautifully. And then right up the bottom, there's like a Maya, a plastic Maya bag folded in half with something in it. It didn't have a tag or anything. At least they went to Maya. Cause it was across from the general pants. Come on, mate. The entrance to general pants was here and the entrance to Maya was over there. More further than I can see. Thank you. And she wears glasses. It's not that far. I can see it. Anyway, yeah.

And like, so they're all so beautifully wrapped. And then that was mine. And then when I was working at Cole's, someone bought me a Cole's voucher, a gift card, because I'd obviously forgotten and then just gone to the front counter and fucking bought a $20 gift card. So you can get a hock of ham on your way out or something? A hock of ham? $20? Not even. A hock of ham's like $60. You can get a third of a hock of ham. Do you then get to a Play staff discount before you use the voucher? I don't know if you could use your discount when like, not you be using conjunctions with other offers or whatever. Yeah. Well, there's a bit of that energy coming up here today. But I just like to say, obviously we will not be revealing who got who for Secret Santa.

No, because that's for Friday special episode. Do you say who you got? Because usually it's just the two of us, but now there's a third. But we still wouldn't know who that's from even. No. Do you say who you got? Cause usually we, it's just the two of us, but now there's a third. We still wouldn't know who that's from even. No. Yeah. Cause it's a surprise.

Well, whoever gets the thing from me, I just want to know, I just want them to know that I personally like thought about it and like created something. And like created something. And so I just want them to know that whilst it might not look like a big deal that I actually like, it took me like a pretty long time. I love whatever you get for the person that you got. But I just want you to know, like there's the detail. No, I love it already. Whoever got it. I'm so happy for whoever got it. I love it already. Whoever got it.

I'm so happy for whoever got it. I'm so happy for whoever gets to keep that. Yeah. Yeah. I showed Sophie and I was like, do you reckon whoever I've got to like it? And Sophie was like, now the surprise is real. You've got me, don't you? What did you think? The pictures of her and her family, like on a box or something.

So if you agree with my thing that like the time can like you. Yeah, yeah. The gift was the pre-production. No, and that's fine. The thought is like. But it could appear like a bit. But just know that I made it. I made it.

I'm not going to think that. It took longer than if I knew how long it would take when I started, I might have got something else. But of course not, because I love who course not because I love who I have. I love who I have. I love who I have. That's actually taken so many years of therapy. That's great progress though.

I love myself. Whoever I've got. Whoever I've got. And I don't know who you've got. You might have me. I love you too. I'm panicking. Dig up.

Random question for you listening today. Random question. If you're doing a secret Santa and everyone is spending $10, right? $10 is what we all have to spend. Fun little one in the office, $10. You find the perfect gift and it's 10 bucks and you go perfect. Banger. Then you find out the gift is two for the price of one.

Yeah. Oh, today it's two for the price of one. So you get two for $10. Yeah. So ethically, morally, being a good s***. Yep. Does the receiver of the gift get both of them? Or do you go bonus? I'll keep one as well.

Nah, I'd keep it. Yeah? Yeah. If you found out it was a two for one and they kept the other one, would you be like, come on, bro? No, I I'd keep it. Yeah. Yeah. If you found out it was a two for one and they kept the other one, would you be like, come on bro? No, I don't think so. Yeah. So where are you up with that? Cause they've spent $10, $10 on that day. Got them both. I think I would give both and then be like, I'm pretty generous and take, Oh, actually, no, that's what I do. That's cool. High road. No, actually for the price of two, you know what I would do actually now that's, so if

you said that, that's reminded me of probably how I would play it. I'd buy that, but then I'd buy something else. I'm like not good at sticking to limits because I feel bad only like giving one thing or you know, whatever. So I'm like, Oh, I'll just get another something small. Yeah. Okay. Ruth has a story. Raise the Ruth.

I love Ruth stories. Yeah, me too. Every time I say Ruth's the one I don't even care if this story is shit. I'm going to read it. Cause I love saying Ruth's the Ruth. I think in my mind as well, every Ruth we hear from is the same Ruth. And I know it's not. I assume it is too.

But I just assume it's the same Ruth. I also know it's not that, remember we spoke to that lady I just assume it's the same Ruth. I also know it's not that. Remember we spoke to that lady that lived in that remote town, 16 hour drive from Perth and there's like four people live in the town? Yeah. I don't even remember her name, but every time I hear the word Ruth, I imagine her. Are you thinking of Suzanne? Yes.

Yeah. Who? Ruth. Yeah, sorry. Ruth says, our secret Santa had a 10 pound limit slash suggestion. 10 pound. 10 pounds. He said 10 pound.

Dumb cat. I'll pound to you then 10 to it. Oh, take that back. Redacted, redacted, redacted. I don't know. 10 X. One year I was given a single bag of Milky Way Magic Stars. Not a bad chocolate, but at less than one pound a bag.

Very stingy. So you know, you know that it hasn't been. As a frequent Milky Way Magic Star frequenter, Ruth knows the value of a Milky Star and she's like, these are a dollar, a bag, fucking lift. Yeah. To make matters worse, says raise the roof. The bag was a two for one off a Princeton on it, but he only gave me one bag.

Oh, no, no way. So at least she could do is give me $2 worth for a $10 recommendation. And that was it. Like in the bag, have some Milky stars, you fucking piece of shit. she could do is give me $2 worth for a $10 recommendation. And that was it. Like in the bag, have some Milky stars, you fucking piece of shit. It's basically what the guy said.

And if it was one dollar, one pound, but the limit was 10 pounds, surely you'd buy some big jar and fill it with the chocolate. 10, and that would be hilarious. Like he's a big fucking- Yeah, but that's a silly, and you leave that on your desk and you've got that all year. You know, people always come around and go, oh, just grab a Milky Star. That's nice.

That's fun. I love that. No, just one bag. And the two for one sticker was on it. That cuts deep. But it's even like, just take the sticker off and pretend like it wasn't. But we already know that it wasn't 10 pounds. Yeah.

And then Ruth opens one and goes, did you want one? And he goes, no, I'm full. Cause he's fucking dropped the whole bag of them on the way in. I hope that that guy just fucking gets a present for Secret Santa wrapped in a my bag. I hate him. I hate him.

Now this is from Jessica. Hi Jess. Who listens to this show. Thanks for being a tar for Jess. Thanks Jess. Jess was at her first like real job after college. Nice. And at her work, everyone else had been there

like a minimum three years. Like they all was like a pretty tight group. Okay. And so they all knew each other pretty well. And you know. She's a bit of a newcomer. She's a newcomer and. That's tough in a tight knit workplace.

Yeah. I tried to give a quirky fun shit gift to be like, how fun. And cause the limits fucking what? $10, $20 or something. So it's like. But on the day, awkwardly, I found out how beautiful and thoughtful the gifts that people had got for one another were. Like it was a workplace where they really knew and cared for each other and it sounds really great. And she was like, yeah, like everyone here is fantastic. And then Zoey Hines, she's like, well, so of course. I wouldn't have done a silly gift if I knew we were doing nice gifts.

Handmade cards, really personable messages and gifts that like, oh, I really know you and I know you're into this. For example, I mentioned in the office once that I liked the sound of this really specific odd niche book. So the person that had me went to three different bookstores to find the whole series of this thing. And they said, Oh, I know that you've mentioned it once. And it was like a series. So I went around and I've, I found this and I know that you really care about this story. And so, you know, it's still maybe only 20 bucks, but it's like a lot of stuff how to, you know, I care about you and I've like, I know you'll enjoy this.

That's very sweet. Do you, what's your thought on something that's like maybe small, but really thoughtful or really like specific to you. And you go, oh, that is just so me. So once when Bridget and I were like, just started like doing the hippity dippity, my birthday was coming up or Christmas or something. And she's like, what do you want?

And I was like, do you, can you guess what it was? Oh, no. So I said to Bridget, cause I might have told you this before, I'm like, you know what I would love, Bridget? I would love for you to tell me a joke. Cause the fact that you've thought about it or Googled it or just like, I would love you to just, I would need to sit there and you'd have stand up in front of the couch and just tell me a joke.

Yeah. For me, like how funny and silly and you've got two weeks to think of a good one. Yeah. Tell me a joke. Yeah. For me, like how funny and silly. And I'm like, you've got two weeks to think of a good one. Yeah. And you're like, cause we could buy each other something shit or do this funny thing and then go out for dinner or whatever. And I love that. And then, and Bridget is not a joke tower. Um, so she like, you know, went online and was like, Oh, this, oh, he'll

think that's pretty funny and blah, blah, blah. And then I'll do the thing. And backing one thing in his heart as well. Oh, so that's good. It's similar to the fucked fact, which will be tomorrow. Yeah. Do you want me to tell you the joke that she did and performed? Yes.

What is Beethoven's favorite food? What? Banana. And she did the hands and stuff. And I was like, I love that so much. And 10 years later, I've not forgotten it because it's so good. And there's nothing anyone can get. Like if we were doing a work, if we were, but like, say we're in an accounting

firm and we're doing like little $10 gifts and someone goes, Ryan, I had you. And I'm actually just going to tell you a joke. I'd be like, fuck yeah. This is sick. Cause I love silly dumb jokes like that. I remember the first joke Torbbs ever told me as well. What was it? How does an elephant order buns?

How? Buns please. For those listening along at home. Um, she just said it normally and just did an arm in the air like I did a trunk. But that's what he did. And also because Torb is not really jerky. No, that's rare from Torb.

And the performance as well of the... And I literally... Is it better than he did it like, kind of like... No, he fully... He did the whole thing. Bugs. as well. Is it better than he did it like, kind of like. No, he fully. The buns is a red herring in that set up.

Well, I'm thinking about buns. I'm not thinking about the trunk. I know it makes me laugh so much. And now like in the house, obviously, we've got any like we're having hamburgers like we had hamburgers for dinner last night and i was like oh like have you got all your stuff and he goes and i grabbed the hamburger buns which is quite sweet You like that? That's really good from Torbz.

Almost better than his pickup line. You ever come so hard to hit yourself? You want to? Yeah. Does that count as the first joke? Nah, because it's a pickup line. Well, he wasn't joking. Don't do that.

Sorry. OK, so everyone in Jessica's workplace. Oh, my God. Sorry. The books, the beautiful books. She got the beautiful books. And again, no one like went over the limit, but they just put a bit of thought and effort into it. Yeah. I'm going to give you three guesses about her shit quirky.

Cause she was like, Oh, this is a bit dumb fun. Oh, okay. My first guess is that it's going to be one of those like reindeers where you press the hand it goes rocking around the Christmas tree. You know, those like dancing Santas. Yeah. Surprisingly shit other than that. Two more guesses to go.

A scratchy. Shit up. Scratchy's are shit cause they're not thoughtful at all. It's not thoughtful, but I think if the limits like 30 bucks. It's easy. No. Oh, like a topper? Yeah, like, and the thing that you bought is 25.

I think five $1 scratches is kind of cute. It is, yeah, actually, 100%. But only scratches is enough for me. Can I? Oh, I don't want to say. What? What? What? My c***. Your c***. Yeah.

He bought scratchies for the Secret Santa. No. And then whoever got them, they like scratched it and didn't win. And he goes, yeah, I know. I scanned the thing and checked. But there's a QR code on the back. Cause you know, when you take it in, they just go, and apparently you can just like scan the QR code and it's like, you're a winner or you're not. That is awful.

If we have to cut that out, I actually that's fine, but what the fuck? Yeah. Yep. That is the worst thing someone could do. Wow. You haven't heard. Actually, no, that's way worse than this. Okay. One more guess. Condoms.

No, I'm going to give you one more. And it's not, I'd say less quirky, like quirky in its being shit. Okay. It's, I would say dull, dull or alcohol then that's not the dullest thing that someone could give you. I reckon the person I got for secret Santa, I gave them a block of soap on a rope and on one side it said face on the other side, it said, ask. On one side it said face on the other side it said ass.

I think that's kind of funny. The guy went to three bookstores, you know? Yeah. Oh, but I think though that that's funny and better than a scratchy or a bottle of shit wine. Is it better than a pre-examined scratchy? That is, that's terrible. Sorry. Wait, do we have to cut that off? Nah, fuck it.

So at the start of the year, first episode of 2024, we do our ins. Yep. And now the thing is, is that we say, this is my big thing for the year. And then obviously forget about it within a week. Yeah. But it's not like a, it's not a resolution. Just like a vibe. It's like, yeah, a vibe. It's a sort of a, it's not a prediction, but it's sort of just like, here's how I, here's

what I'm all about this year. But as you said, we forget straight away. I cannot remember what I said. I've got Tony's ins and outs. So we have two ins and two outs each. Two ins and two outs each. Um, I might start with a Tony in. So we haven't read these.

Um, producer Sophie's organized these. So what order would you like to do? I think I'll start with a Tony in. Yep. Yeah. And then we go out in, out in. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. Okay. Tony in this is what she said. First episode of the year 2024. Oh no, it could be anything on that. Like, do you know what? I say so much stuff. No, I couldn't. The encyclopedia of words that have come out of my mouth. I like, No, I couldn't. The encyclopedia of words that have come out of my mouth are like.

One of Tony's ins for 2024 was genuine weather chat. I have done that this year. Can you first explain what you mean by that? OK, so this is such a blast from the past. That's actually a great in from me. What I meant was that I think that people do weather chat in like a, oh. Pretty hot out. Pretty hot outside. I wanted people to know that when I did weather chat

with them, it was not just phoning in a conversation. It was because I genuinely care about the weather. And because it wasn't like, oh, you know. You have done that this year because I think we've come in sometimes and gone, oh, you know. You have done that this year because I think we've, we've come in sometimes and gone, oh, the full moon in those clouds has made people on the roads a bit funny. Lots of things going on.

The wind. Remember when we got kooky from the wind. Oh, we were crazy for a few days because of that wind. Just yesterday morning at the pool, I was, and I was like, oh, nice weather in here, but not so good outside. Cause there'd been like a little bit of rain overnight. And they're like, yeah, the rain. And I was like, yeah, nice weather in here, but not so good outside. Cause there'd been like a little bit of rain overnight. And they're like, yeah, the rain.

And I was like, yeah. Who's Lorraine? Genuine weather chat. No, I'm going to say tick. I'm backing that in still. Not that it's a tick or cross, but no, good in. I love that. And you lived by your values this year.

I did. Okay. I've got your first in for the year. This is what you said on- The first episode. The first episode of this year. This is what you said on the first episode of this year. Oh, tell people you love their shit. Yeah. Was in. What was my example? Your example was Sultana brand. I love Sultana brand. Because remember we had that conversation about Sultana brand over the holiday. And then we were like, let's do that on the show. We have talked nonstop about cereal this year. We have.

And I think that you've done, tick. I turned up to Tony's house yesterday afternoon with my own box of crunchy nuts. And you know what a good guest Ryan is, left the box behind. You don't take wine home with you for a party. I actually always do. Because it's annoying when people leave drinks

in your fridge that you're not gonna drink. Well, the thing is, is that most other people would drink them. But that's why it's a cultural thing. Yeah. Like, oh, I brought a six pack. I've only had five, but oh, fucking right. I'll probably knock that off tomorrow. I have a like, it's a little like, thanks for having it. So if you, if you don't drink it, then it's just the fridge clogger. But then, yeah, all of a sudden you've got eight different types of craft beer. Yeah. And a UDL that like someone left behind at some point. I love, I don't drink beers often, but if it's like a Sunday AVO and it's warm and we're by the pool,

if I have four beers and every single one of them is a different brand type flavor, that's just like variety. Okay, yeah. I like, I'm not like married to it. I'm like, oh, I've got a bourbon and Coke here, a Volca Cruiser some craft beer, and a thing that Bridget made when she was at the Hawkers brewery. Great. Bring them all out. Yeah.

Okay. That's a good way of looking at it. I think. Love it. Love it. Um, do you have an out? Oh, no, no. What?

In terms of being a fan of stuff, I feel like we've got around things. I think so. We're a fan of the Hawks. You're a fan. You weren't a fan of the Hawks this time last year. I became a Hawker this year, family club. I actually was writing down a list of all the great things that have happened to me this year.

Oh, that's nice. And that was in there. Really? Watched a footy game of the MCG and became a Hawks fan. Is it? Is actually one, two, three, four, fifth one down. Are we gonna, is that like just the personal thing? Yeah.

I was just like, oh, I take a bit of stock of the year and write down all the awesome things that we did. That's nice. That's a good exercise. I should do that. Yeah. I was just like, Oh, I take a bit of stock of the year and write down all the awesome things that we did. And that's not, that's a good exercise. I should do that. Yeah. That's cool. Do you want to? No, that's your thing. Oh, like it's not, it's not really private and everything that's on there is

probably like things I've talked about, but like going to London with you, seeing Taylor Swift, but also doing the meet and greet. That was awesome. My friend, Tim moved to Melbourne, which was really cool thing that happened to me this year. Um, we had another friend stay with us. Um, my nephew's had their first sleepover at our house, which is really special. We made the calendar, um, started my leg sleeve. Like my tattoos on my leg. Yeah, that's pretty huge.

Um, so Tony's done all that. And this year I discovered that I love Matthew McConaughey. That's awesome though. But yeah, started Pilates. We moved into Tarp Tower. Like that was all this year. I've got another Tony in. And the reason I'm bringing it up. You just asked me.

Yeah, because now I'm like, oh fuck, maybe like, I hope I'm going to lift up. And it's like something that you've ticked off. Oh no. Okay. Like imagine if I pulled this up and you're like something that you've ticked off. Oh no. Okay. Like imagine if I pulled this up and you're like in me getting a leg sleeve. Yes, it wasn't. But yes. Like that's not what I said. But what is it? Tony in. Keep reading your list.

I don't want to. No, go on. There's like so much stuff on here. Okay. I reckon this is on your list that you've done. You've gone. This is a great thing that's happened this year. Tony wanted to cook and entertain more. Oh my God. That's not on my list, but I totally did that. Yeah. And now that you think, but you kind of, you had people come over and stay. Yeah. I definitely cooked more. I don't think that I entertained more.

We literally had the boys stay over. Yeah. Entertaining doesn't have to mean like dinner party. It just means literally people in your house having a good time. I think that's what it meant. But that would, yeah, I think that's a good one. You did cook more. I did cook way more. Yeah. You're fucking slayed this year.

Slayed the year. All right. Well, let me do your other inn now. Hang on. Ryan Inn. Oh, you haven't done this. Accepting I'm a gluten-free guy. Because we just talked about all that cereal. All that crunchy nut I ate yesterday. Fuck, last night was harrowing. And then the other day when you ate crunchy nut, like a separate time, I said, is that gluten-free? You time, I said, is that gluten-free?

You said, don't ask me that right now. I was finishing a uni assignment. No, and that's fine. And I stood, I went, I respect it. That's fine. But you, you haven't accepted you're a gluten-free guy this year. Remember when we were in London and they had so much good gluten-free food and in America actually, they had lots of good stuff. They do good gluten-free food and in America actually, they had lots of good stuff.

They do good gluten-free here as well. Actually, we haven't done the Christmas songs. I was like, we've made a song about this. Should we play it right now? Inns, Tony Lodge singing about gluten on Christmas day. Because I was about to say, gluten doesn't count when you've got an assignment due or it's the weekend or it's Christmas. This is a song by Tony Lodge. This one goes out to all of my gluten intolerant babes this Christmas. Wreck your bowels with too much gluten.

Fa la la la la la la la la. I'll be fine but he'll be tooting. Fa la la la la la la la la. Eating breads and cakes and pastries If you do, you will poo guaranteed Gluten doesn't count on Christmas Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft Ryan!

Out for 2024 Remembering shit that you've done Yeah Yep, okay, well Uh... Oh! Let me show you What's going on.

And this is me embracing that I'm gluten free maybe for 2025. I'm allowed to do the same one next year. Yeah, it's our podcast. You say whatever the fuck you want. This literally this morning. And I think it's still in the cart because, you know, there's like Phil hates gluten. That guy on Instagram. Oh, yes, I have seen that, actually, because I'm like a merch guy.

Now I bought some like I have seen that actually. Because I'm like a merch guy now. I bought some like, I hate- Have a cookbook or something. No, no, just the t-shirt that said make gluten-free bread bigger. Okay. Cookbook, great call. Yeah. I was like, oh, maybe you're going to start making your own little snacks or something. Okay. And one also is a hoodie that says gluten hates me. As I eat crunchy nut.

Okay. I haven't accepted that I'm a gluten free boy. And that's okay. It's not though. It's a long journey. To the bathroom every time. Yeah. Tony out.

Yes. Oh, Tony said out this year is FaceTime. I hate it. I actually haven't FaceTimed a single person, I don't think, except for Tim, who moved to Melbourne. So he's actually now around the corner from me and we FaceTime sometimes. I was going to say, I thought you were going to say you moved to Melbourne, so I didn't have to FaceTime. Nah, we probably FaceTime more now.

Love that. Good out from me, I think. Yeah, I'll pick them up. Yeah. Um, this is a, uh, out from Ryan. Oh, you haven't done this a single time. This good. No, that's good.

Saying doggo. That's a great one. Why haven't that is out this year. Yeah. Fuck it right off. Yeah. Even you saying that I was like this year. Fuck it right off. Yeah. Even you saying that I was like, eww.

Eww, does a doggo. Yeah. But you said that it was an out as being. I'm good at this. That's funny. Papa. Doggo and Papa. Tony's other final out of the year.

Yep. Oh yeah, maybe. Rushing. I think that I still have room to learn, but we've started the journey, but I think I've been less rushy. I think I've let people rush me less as well. Yep. Like I've taken my time with things.

Yep. No, I think that's good. And it's not rushing about like, Oh, rushing around in the morning. That's not really, I think more like in the shop, if someone's behind me, I'll rush because I feel like I'm in the way, but I'm like, no, no, no, I'm okay. I get no bus to catch. I think that's a good one for everyone. Less rushing.

Less rushing in 2025. If I need another spare one, when we do it, when we get back, I'll just recycle that one, like you're gonna do with your gluten one. I'm probably gonna do mine again the same. I've actually prepared the first step for next year already. That's how advanced I am. The final run out. And I actually remembering this time, I remember this one.

Brian said out for 2024 was hating on the haters. Don't buy it. Do it for yourself. And also I guess like giving it and like giving it oxygen. Yeah. Like not posting shitty comments that you get because it just gives it oxygen, focus on the good stuff. I think people should stop hating on haters. I think as well, it's all almost like, fuck the haters, but I'm like, oh, well, you're talking about them now. Yeah.

They win then. Yeah. Now I'm that guy. Do it for yourself. Yeah. You don't need to prove it to anyone else. Hey, I've got a love to say you. This will really pick us back up. I feel like their attitude has shifted.

This guy was camping and in the morning, there was a note left in his four wheel drive, under the windscreen wiper thing. And if you saw that someone had left you a note, what would your first reaction be? Immediately, I'd probably think it was bad, either because I'd parked in the wrong spot, or maybe someone had hit my car. Yeah, or like, yeah, hey mate, sorry I backed.

Or I backed into your car or whatever, like, so I'd probably be like, fuck, what's that for? Let me read it to you. Uh-huh. Bro. Oh. I camped in the spot right behind you last night, and let me just say you are killing it as a dad. Oh. First off, I watched you back in your truck with the trailer and you nailed it.

Your kids unloaded the car. They seemed really nice and well-mannered. You and your wife obviously doing such a good job raising them. They were really well behaved. Then I heard you tell stories around the campfire, cracking stories and hearing the kids giggling and laughing. I was like, Oh, that guy's doing it right. Oh, PS, whatever you cooked for dinner last night smells amazing. Oh my God. From one dad to another, you're killing it.

Keep it up, bro. All the best. That is so sweet. A handwritten note. Oh, doesn't that just fucking jazz you up? Keep it up, bro. All the best. That is so sweet. A handwritten note. Oh. Doesn't that just fucking jazz you up? That's really sweet. Also taking the time to just write something nice for someone who's like so

beautiful. Incredible. That's really sick. Would handwritten notes in for 2025 or is that like admin? The other day I wrote something like by hand and I was like, how did I used to write like at school? Yeah. Like literally my hand was fucked after like five minutes

and I was like, no, like not for me. So we did an exam for uni and it was two hours and you can type it up. Yep. And I was like tired from typing for two hours and I was like, how the fuck did we, it's a three hour exam, okay. Yeah. And you would just be like scrolling across the,

and it would have to be legible also. So you couldn't just like. And the fact you can't edit it. Yeah. What are you going to whine out or fucking scream or something out? But like if I wrote stuff, it was never in the right order. I'd always need to go.

Oh, I'll move that around. Yeah. Crazy, aye? Like actually crazy. So I think a handwritten note should be in for 2025, because it's quite nice effort, isn't it? It is. It is. I've got to love to see it as well, which is also kind of

wholesome in a different way. Anna says, hi, Tony. In the fall, I work on a rural farm in Wisconsin. There's an Aussie guy there who's married to one of the sisters who run the place. And he's got a couple of sports banners hanging up in the shop, like where he works on the cars and the trucks and stuff. And with all the footy chat this year from you guys, I took a closer look and lo and

behold, they're Hawthorn Hawks banners. This farm in Wisconsin. Wisconsin. Yeah. Thanks for giving me a little something to chat with him about and for giving him somebody around here who knows something about his team. So there's a Hawke supporter in Wisconsin.

Yep. Fuck. And how has that even happened in this world? Isn't that great? Well, he's Australian. Oh yeah, makes more sense. So you know at the beginning I said, work on a farm in rural Wisconsin

and there's an Aussie guy. Yeah, I'll bet it's like- And you went, Wisconsin! But usually you're moving like, when said, work on a farm in rural Wisconsin and there's an Aussie guy. Yeah, I'll bet it's like- And you went, Wisconsin! But usually you move and like, when I moved away for a year, I just, you just don't keep up with it. Think about it, yeah. You're just like, oh, how'd we go this year? Great.

But I guess if you're working and like living there, maybe it's different, but when you're there for a year, you're like, well, I'll be back. Yeah. But when you're living there, you kind of take it with you. I don't know. Yep. No, that's sick. He's hoping they get to the grand final next year.

So I can ask him, how about them Hawks? Mate, you can ask that anytime. You don't need to wait for a grand final. But how about them Hawks? Yeah. And I finished it on, I listened to a lot of podcasts, but your guys my favorite. Love you.

Which is really sweet. That is really sweet. Thanks Anna. Should we send some Hawks merch to both the mechanic and to Anna? Send it to Wisconsin. I think the mechanic's got enough. Yeah, he's good.

He's got his stuff hanging off and he's all good. He's all good. Sounds like they could do with a few scarves though. Wisconsin's pretty cold, right? Yeah. Like that's pretty frosty. In the winter. It's north, right?

Yeah. But it's like one of those, you know when we looked up how cold it was again and we just went like, well, that's not real. Well, obviously not. And why would someone live there? How the people? Yeah. I think it's one of them. Yeah. No, thanks.

Anyway, good on ya. So sick. Yeah. Out Wisconsin. All right. I will chat to you tomorrow for the final normal or nah. Yes. For 2024.

And sometimes I read them and I go, that sounds really fucking annoying. I do that. Oh, and doesn't that just make you feel bad? Yeah. But when you just put black and white in front of you, you're like. Oh, Molly has one and I go, your boyfriend sounds like a fucking asshole. And I went, I do that most days. Oh, right.

Self-aware, though, which is good. Yeah. Yeah. In self-aware acts, doing something about it apparently. So, yeah, great. Love you. See you good. Yeah. In self-aware ads, doing something about it, so yeah. Love you. See you tomorrow. This episode is brought to you by Audible, which is awesome because this year I've
